After joining the University of Michigan Library in 2009, the majority of her time and effort has been dedicated to textbook initiatives at the University of Michigan Library. Her research orientation and knowledge of both quantitative and qualitative methodological techniques has enabled her to conduct several textbook-related studies that examine and assess a wide range of potential roles the Library can play in increasing textbook affordability for the Michigan scholarly community. Natsuko most recently served as a project manager for the campus-wide eTextbook Initiative led by the

Michael stated that after participating in the survey he became interested in trying outChatGPT for designing rubrics and animations, but he was not satisfied with the GenAI’soutcomes. However, he utilized ChatGPT to design simple quizzes, “I refer to ChatGPT togenerate some questions. It is one of the resources. It's not the only one that I use, but it is goodfor simple questions”. Michael also described using ChatGPT to generate code for algorithmslike Horsepool and Merge Sort, though these attempts often resulted in errors

Our contentends with a feature called the goal tracker which prompts users to set a specific goal for theupcoming week. Throughout the week, participants record their progress, procrastinationtendencies, and ACT skills that they practice daily. It serves as a final project of our content,asking users to apply all the ACT skills they learned.Our design prioritizes high content clarity and minimal cognitive load. The reason is to help usersengage with our content as effectively as possible without additional stress. In order to achievehigh content clarity, we integrated multimedia resources through which ClearMind’s content

Thestudent’s work is not a research project on the results of the work in [42] but rather a study on thepedagogical paradigm of using Generative AI and ChatGPT while trying to employ suchpractices in a lab-based exercise. The students were not informed of the source of the questions,and so the students did not have a chance to feed ChatGPT material from our source [42] whiletrying to prompt it to generate the results for this study. The responses to the questions (1 – 4)mentioned above will help us understand the answers to our research questions

One of these sub-projectswas related to the development of a PPP. Based on extensive data analysis, the PPP helps toidentify patients' presumed treatment preferences when they are no longer able to make deci-sions themselves. The PPP acts as a neutral and emotionally uninvolved support system.
